You'll need to verify two things in order to set up your withdrawals successfully on GoFundMe.

1. Your identity.

To do this, you will need to fill out your personal details such as name, address, phone number, tax ID and date of birth. If this information can't be automatically verified, then there's a chance you'll need to provide a copy of your government issued photo ID. All of the following are acceptable forms of ID:

Valid Passports

US Driver's Licenses

UK Driver's License Photo ID

EU National ID Card

2. Your banking information. You will need to use a bank account in your name that is located in the country you signed up in.

You’ll be able to fill out your bank information from within your account. Keep in mind, if there are any issues with verifying your bank account, our payment processor may require a bank statement or voided check to confirm that the information is correct. This will help protect you against missing withdrawals.

Final tip: If you do have to upload any of the above documentation, it will take our payment partner up to 1 business day to review and approve the information you sent over. This can extend the time it takes for you to receive your funds, so it’s important to plan around that.

Note that bank deposits also take 2-5 business days to arrive from the time they are sent.
